| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We planned the study using the rabbit auricular cartilage paying our attention to stem cells and its maintenance mechanism to improve the long-term form maintainability that have been a problem of the auricular cartilage reproduction. But in own study for the rabbit rib perichondrium, it was found earlier that neovascularization occurred in a perichondrium before chondrogenesis.So we examined an association between angiogenetic inhibition and the chondrogenesis in this model. By administration of neovascularization inhibitor, the neovascularity in the perichondrium decreased and significantly the quantity of subsequent chondrogensis was inhibited. Because the growth and differentiation of the perichondrium cells thought to be the stem cells origin showed a correlation of the chondrogenesis, the neovascularization acted for the maintenance mechanism of the perichondrium stem/progenitor cells. It was suggested that the neovascularization in the perichondrium triggered the chondrogenesis.
